The winner takes it all

I'm a player that grew up playing this game on board game rules. And one thing that in my opinion has dramatically changed the game is the rewarding system for 2nd place etc. I know it's a way of rewarding players that have achieved more than those that for example lost in the first year but it completely changes player behavior and the games climate. So I propose making an option like with the optional rules (storms, famince etc) "winner takes it all" where points go only to the winner and no one else. Would it be possible to do something like this?

Hi
I think the same way but this topic has been extensively discussed here and most of the players prefer to keep the system as is

Reasons;

More motivation for new players. They can obtain points easily that victories.

Some people prefer to keep their word till the end before play for victory. it's is respectable.

I used to be frustrated by the point also, but then I decided to stop complaining and try to improve my number of victories and my winning percentage.
There are players that, playing in the same situation, has a winning percentage much higher than me. And they are not complaining about other olayers not playing for victory and affecting the overall game.

But it is a healthy discussion and I am happy that you opened it again

Well ok, that's why I'm not saying to entirely change the rewarding system. Just to give an option for those that wish to play this way. It will have a negative impact on the players in the game considering the points but it would be voluntary and honestly I myself don't give a damn about them, I just want to play a game.

The points are not the important thing for me, but the satisfaction of winning oneself, or helping in the victory of a faithful ally.
Although being sincere the game in which I enjoy the most, I was eliminated, but before that I completely destroyed a vile and miserable traitor.

The problem is that it's like having two football leagues playing together where in one of them you get three points for a win, and in the other you get two. Some (a lot?) care about the points, so it wouldn't be fair to them.

Ok, that's why I say, to make joining "the league with 2 points" a voluntary option, so that people who don't care about the points can play by the old rules. It won't be fair only to them but like I said, it will be voluntary
